LABELZ.wp5	version 1 (25 November 1989)

The documentation for LABELZ.wpm.

Purpose

LABELZ is for formatting text for labels and for printing less than a full sheet of labels on any type of printer.

Assumptions

The macro assumes that you are using a type face with a line height of .1666", which it changes to .15".

This macro works only in WP 5.1.

Steps to take

Create your list of addresses (or whatever) as a regular WP document with a hard return at the end of each line and at least 2 hard returns at the end of each address. With this list on the screen, run LABELZ.

What happens

The macro performs the following steps:

-- checks to see if you want to skip some labels at the top of the sheet of labels

-- adjusts the number of returns after each address

-- cleans out any formatting codes (which might mess up the printing)

-- turns the list into a secondary merge file called ####$$$$.sf (if you happen to have such a document already, you will want to change its name)

-- allows you to select a form

-- creates ####$$$$.pf

-- merges it with ####$$$$.sf

-- erases the temporary files

-- checks for any labels with text spilling over to the next label and warns you if this happens.

This macro incorporates the SAVE.WPM routine which I recently posted. This allows the macro to work correctly whether or not the user creates a Summary on Exit/Save, or uses Long Document Names.
